Impact Sensor: Description and Operation

The SRS contains two sensors which are contained in the Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module. The ECS is mounted on the center tunnel under the instrument panel.

WARNING:
- A new Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module must be installed if the air bag modules have deployed.
- The ECS orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) system has been involved in a collision in which the center tunnel area has been damaged, inspect the mounting and bracket for deformation. If damaged, a new ECS must be installed whether or not the air bag modules have deployed. In addition, make sure the area of the sensor mounting is restored to its original condition.
